The
management of Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Los
Angeles, Southern California had to decide
whether to replace their existing roof with a
standard membrane roof or opt for a more
environmentally and economically sound solution.
They
were keenly interested in deploying reliable
renewable resources and energy saving
conservation techniques to meet its sustainable
building goals and reducing operating overheads.

Coca-Cola
Bottling of Los Angeles had a vision
of creating a green building at the
Los Angeles plant - Keenly interested
in deploying reliable renewable
resources and energy conservation
techniques to meet its sustainable
building goals, Coca Cola also sought
a cost-effective solution to reduce
the operating costs associated with
providing a reliable electricity
supply to its bottling and
distribution facility.

| Coca-Cola
determined that solar technology
benefits both the company and the
surrounding community. It allows the
facility to generate its own
electricity cost-effectively, and
helps increase the stability of the
region's energy supply as well by
reducing the utility grid's
transmission constraints. By deploying
solar power, Coca-Cola generates
electricity to help offset peak demand
utility rates, especially during
summer months when electricity is most
expensive. |

By
combining Solar Integrated Technologies (SIT)
with Uni-Solar flexible thin-film solar cells,
Coca Cola Bottling stands to save $millions in
energy costs while significantly decreasing its
CO2 emissions over the life of the system.
The system also benefits the stability of the
regions energy supply by reducing the grid's
transmission constraints. The extra
capacity is critically important during peak
hours when energy from public utility sources is
more expensive.

As
the energy situation in California
became more and more critical in
recent years, Showa Marine Cold
Storage sought ways to offset
expensive peak power purchases from
the utility grid. At the same time,
interest had been growing in renewable
energy sources. Showa Marine needed a
strong energy alternative that would
satisfy the needs and future goals of
this progressive company.

| After
evaluating multiple renewable energy
alternatives, Showa Marine decided to
incorporate solar photovoltaic (PV)
technology to reduce their operating
costs and take a leadership role in
promoting renewable technology. Showa
Marine chose a commercial-scale solar
electric generating system that was
designed, manufactured and installed
by Solar Integrated Technologies. |
